Iced Vanilla Date Latte

My summer love.

I’ve been drinking this dreamy Iced Vanilla Date Latte every afternoon and I can honestly say I’m in love. Why didn’t I make this before?! My mornings start with an oat milk latte, always (though I switched to decaf lately), and I usually have a second one in the afternoon. I don’t normally snack, I have a filling lunch and I’m not hungry until dinner, so a midday latte is the perfect treat. But it’s been way too hot for that second warm coffee, so iced coffee it is. This is a first for me, I used to drink my coffee hot. That has now changed. Forever. Because this Iced Vanilla Date Latte is the most refreshing, delicious drink I’ve had in a while. I’m obsessed. And if you try it, I’m pretty sure you are going to be making one every day too.

You only need 4 ingredients to make this delicious iced latte. This is not a fancy drink, this is my upgraded version of the humble iced latte. It’s simple, it’s iced coffee, it’s amazing. Plus, it’s sugar-free and dairy-free. A medjool date adds just the right amount of sweetness and a splash of vanilla adds a touch of flavor. Also, I’m using oat milk for this recipe, I think it pairs amazingly well with coffee, but feel free to use your favorite plant-based alternative.

This is my afternoon go-to drink, but feel free to make a big glass of this tasty coffee in the morning. It’s the perfect way to start the day. But know that you’ll need to make your coffee at least 20 minutes in advance, because it needs to be chilled.

If you are feeling a little fancier and prefer something a bit more filling, you can try my Creamy Coffee Smoothie, it’s divine.
